Single European Sky

The air traffic delays culminated in the late 1990s. To improve the air traffic management and air navigation systems, the European Commission launched the Single European Sky initiative (SES), with the goal of increasing airspace capacity and improving safety and efficiency of air traffic management. For that reason, European airspace was divided into nine functional airspace blocks defined by traffic flows, rather than national borders, to shorten the routes and reduce noise and greenhouse gas emissions.
